From Quiz Marx Brothers Motion Pictures

Answer: Monkey Business

"Monkey Business" was the first Marx Brothers film produced in Hollywood, and the first written expressly for the cinema; the previous ones were adaptations of plays. It's also the first to lack Margaret Dumont's presence. One famous line of Groucho's is to Thelma Todd: "You're a woman who's been getting nothing but dirty breaks. Well, we can clean and tighten your brakes, but you'll have to stay in the garage all night." Unfortunately, in 1935 she was found dead in her car, engine running, inside the garage. The Marx Brothers have no character names in this movie, but are just credited as The Stowaways. At one point concealed in barrels they sing "Sweet Adeline" in barbershop harmony. When they try to get off the ship they use a passport stolen from Maurice Chevalier (as himself), and must impersonate him. The Brothers also manage to rescue a kidnap victim (Thelma Todd) after leaving the ship. The film was based on routines the Marx Brothers perfected in the vaudeville days, and despite the lack of plot, it was a box office smash. A sequel was planned involving more gangsters and kidnapping, but after the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the idea was scrapped.

Answer: "Shut up and deal"

In "The Apartment" Jack Lemmon allows his work colleagues to use his apartment for sexual liaisons. Everything is fine until his character falls for the elevator girl, who happens to be the mistress of one of the company bosses. Again.

It's director Billy Wilder's subtle way of letting us know that the guy has finally got the girl.

From Quiz Marx Brothers Motion Pictures

Answer: Room Service

'Room Service' is not usually ranked among the Marx Brothers' best films. For the first time, the Marx Brothers starred in a movie adapted from a play not written originally for them, which may explain why it lacks the usual zaniness, and it doesn't take advantage of their many stock characters, gags, and routines. Lucille Ball has a supporting role as Christine Marlowe, who arranges a backer for the boys. 'Room Service' was the only Marx Brothers film made at RKO Studios. Lucille Ball got the last laugh, as she and her husband Desi Arnaz eventually bought RKO Studios. They renamed it Desilu Studios, whence came 'Star Trek' (1966) and other television classics.
